What affects the price in Sutton Common

Prices start from £95. There is no charge for travel to Sutton Common. The price comes down to:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How much damage there is
  • The type of damage
  • The colour and finish to match

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Getting a price from pictures

Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • One picture of the whole shower tray
  • Any details about the material
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the shower tray, include your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Honest limits

A repair is not right for every job, including:

  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder
  • Trays cracked in several places
  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Common questions in Sutton Common

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Can you replace the silicone at the same time?

We can. After a repair is a good time to reseal.

Will it make a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?

Frequently. If the tray moves, the support needs fixing first.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

When can I use the shower again?

Normally by the following day. We’ll tell you the exact time when we finish.

Will the price change on the day?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Typically, yes. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Sutton Common

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Sutton Common use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it typically costs far less than a refit.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Common problems we fix in Sutton Common

Rigid trays don’t bend, they crack if the floor beneath them isn’t flat and fully supported. Movement in a timber floor has the same effect.

People normally call us after spotting something like this:

  • Scratches from cleaning or grit
  • Staining and dullness across the tray
  • Chips caused during fitting
  • Chips on the edges

Before booking anyone

  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • What preparation is included
  • Who turns up on the day
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers

Our hiring checklist

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. They need a flat, solid base, and we match repairs to the surface finish.

How the visit works

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you are not left guessing. On site, it takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface in most cases. We leave the room clean and you will know when it can be used.

  1. First, we check whether the tray moves.
  2. We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
  3. Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
  4. We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
  5. We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
